Peg Maltby's works have the enchantment and wonder of mystical landscapes, in which she reveals the fairies at the bottom of her garden, created by her extraordinary imagination. The present upsurge of fairy lore indicates an archetypal fascination with the world depicting the enchanting frolics of gnomes, fairies, witches and the rest of the elfin world. Peg's contribution to this genre cannot be lightly dismissed, and she continues to climb in popularity, rarely seen at auction.
